[ The gardens are quiet this late at night, flowers swaying in the wind. It seems like there'll be some kind of storm tomorrow, with the way the wind passes by tonight.
Flayn is still out here, though. So he stays, sitting quietly beside her. ]
Would you prefer to be alone?
[ He's felt overbearing, today. But he'd like to be there for her, if she wants. ]
[ it's a little sad, but... that's not the point right now. he's alive, he has nothing to complain about. besides, she's technically his oldest friend too. ]
Well, what about your last friend you made there, then?
Hmm... I suppose the last might have been Neena. When I was a ghost, she agreed to... [Wait. Hm, hold on.] ...she did pass on my message to you, correct? That I wanted you to be safe, and make it home?
[ everything turns depressing! but he just nods at that. they'll save them. there is no option but to save them. ]
...They've been in my thoughts a lot recently.
[ he looks contemplative a moment. ]
Even if it's frivolous things... I've been remembering moments like that odd sand sculpture. And how Yin Yu surprised me so badly when I first met him that I nearly skewered him a knife. And about the time Minako drew on everyone's nails...
[ nothing big. nothing dramatic. just memories, small and silly. ]
...that sculpture... I believe Yusuke made it, did he not? He was a talented artist. He and Ryuji were an entertaining pair - always so lively...
[she smiles a little, thinking back on it.]
...is it strange, to say a part of me misses that island? It was awful overall, but... there were so many moments that I cannot help but look back on fondly.

[slowly, she shakes her head.]
No, I... [...] ...please do not leave me.
[her voice comes out very, very quietly.]
no subject
...I'm here. If you want to talk, I will listen. If you want to listen, I shall speak.
[ Whatever she needs right now. ]
no subject
[Part of her wants to talk, but she doesn't know what to talk about. So - ]
...do you have something that you want to say?
no subject
[ what can he even say at a time like this? what empty comfort can he spin up for her?
what does he want to say? ]
I want... to reminisce a bit. I want to remember them.
[ now that the trial is over, now that they've done their best and did all they could—can they just have a moment to mourn? ]
no subject
...that would be... nice. To remember the good times we spent with them.
[a little bittersweet, because reminiscing won't bring them back, but. it's better than forgetting.]
no subject
Mm. In moments like this... it's easy to forget the better times.
[ even if the wounds are still fresh. it hasn't even been long since they all met each other. ]
...Do you remember your first friend on the island?
no subject
[...well. this is a little embarrassing, but.]
...it was... you, actually. Since, we did not know each other that well before... or, at least, I did not know you that well. I suppose.
[welp.]
no subject
...I'm flattered.
[ it's a little sad, but... that's not the point right now. he's alive, he has nothing to complain about. besides, she's technically his oldest friend too. ]

no subject
i am really sorry for this. i really, truly am.]
Hmm... I suppose the last might have been Neena. When I was a ghost, she agreed to... [Wait. Hm, hold on.] ...she did pass on my message to you, correct? That I wanted you to be safe, and make it home?
no subject
anyway it's a good thing they're not touching, though his voice is a little... distant. ]
She said as much, yes. It did give me strength to do what I needed to.
no subject
...I am glad. I knew that we could count on you, Dimitri.
no subject
...
[ he hasn't warranted that at all, neither at the island nor here. but this isn't about him. ]
I have considered the fact that Neena is probably here as well. Another lost soul.
no subject
[as much as she can believe anything here, anyway.]
...which means we must do our utmost to save them.
[somehow, this conversation turned depressing.]
no subject
